They're addressing the depth issues by keeping everyone.

You want depth or you want to jettison everyone and play in the shallow pool?

Silence you.

You shall have VDV, Weise and Belle! And you shall like it!

This organization is becoming embarrassing.

Becoming? We've seen this coming for two years now and no one would listen.

so next season they have 10 forwards signed for 40,627,500 - G, Jake, Schenn, Coots, Simmonds, Read, Weise, Raffl, Konecny and PEB. Cousins, Laughton and Leier all RFAs

4 dmen signed for 10,219,167 - AMAC, Gudas, Manning, Provorov. Ghost UFA

1 goalie signed for 2,500,000 - Neuvy. Stolarz a RFA

obviously someone will be lost in the expansion draft.

- nastyflyergirl

AMAC, Manning or Weise.

If Nuevirth isn't taken in the expansion draft, and is an injury prone replacement level goaltender next year, and Stolarz isn't NHL ready then what?

This place is far too negative today. May have to go turn on WIP for some real Flyers talk....

Weren't they on a winning streak?

Really what coach is going to play a rookie goalie regularly during a winning streak?

Should he played more? Maybe? But I can't fault how he was used for that brief time.

- J35Bacher

Does the winning streak matter? In reality, I'm asking, do you trust Hak in how he handles goalies?
It seems to me that he plays favorites. If his job, as he's said numerous times, is to "win games," then why did he decide to start Neuvy 6 games in a row when he was playing poorly? Why does he continue to use PEB and VDV as his top pk unit? Why does he break up lines that do well together?

That was not the post that this board needed, but it was definitely the post that it deserves.

Flyers: have season where forwards can't score & goalies can't stop pucks
Flyers: re-sign worst goalie & worst 5v5 scoring NHL forward

And of course the Stepfords here defend this garbage.

This just in, Hakstol becomes Vandevelde's agent and an extension should be worked out momentarily.

103% raise for PEB.
He's obviously integral to the success of the team for the next 2 years. No one else in the league, or on the Phantoms, can do what he does.

Go for broke. Announce Mark Streit has been resigned for 1 year at $3 million. Then follow it up with VandeVelde 2 years at $1.2 million per.

I want it to happen.

I don't defend either. I understand Neuvirth. PEB I do not.
